Description
VW Golf GTI. 77k miles
Location: Haywards Heath, West Sussex
For sale is a much-loved and well-presented 2012 VW Golf GTI DSG, finished in Tornado Red with full black leather interior.
This is a solid and reliable example of the sought-after MK6 GTI, benefiting from recent investment and maintenance, making it an ideal sporty daily driver or enthusiast's hot hatch. Recent brake upgrade at QST (June 2025):
Previously fitted with Porsche Macan calipers, but these were removed due to excessive squeal and replaced with a more road-friendly performance brake solution
Current setup provides excellent braking performance without compromise to daily usability.

Improved throttle response, more mid-range torque and smoother power delivery. The map is mild and daily-driver friendly, not aggressive or over-tuned.

HPI clear
If you're after a clean, cared-for MK6 GTI with low miles, DSG, leather and a proper recent brake refresh (done right, not bodged), this is a great example. It drives as a GTI should - quick, precise, and with real hot hatch character.
This isn't a thrashed or tired example - it's been kept in great shape and is ready to go.
